Chapter 128 The poor little one whose marriage was exchanged VS the inhumane prince 13
The old lady had long since stopped caring about the affairs of the house, looked at the female relatives in the house, frowned and said: "Where did Meng go? Why don't you see anyone?"
As soon as he asked, Meng came to Rongxi Hall in a hurry.
The sound came into the house before anyone entered the house.
"Mom, what do you want to do with your daughter-in-law?"
The laughing voice was full of joy, not the gloominess of not long ago.
Seeing Meng's happy expression, the female relatives in Rongxi Hall were all puzzled. What were the mother and daughter talking about hiding in the room, so happy?
The old lady was stunned for a moment when she saw Meng entering the door, and then said: "How do you plan the lunch banquet?"
Meng Shi smiled and said, "It will be placed in Tingyu Pavilion. Well, Tingyu Pavilion is spacious and we are all a family. There is no need for men and women to sit separately.”
Although the old lady felt that it was not good for men and women to sit together, she thought of the family and didn’t say anything.
"Qiu Shuang, go see if the Marquis is okay."
Meng ordered the maid next to her.
The maid left quickly.
Ms. Meng looked at the female family members in the room again, "It takes time to prepare the banquet. You can go back and clean up. It's not too late to go there in a quarter of an hour."
Her eyes glanced over When Yu Yao thought about her daughter's words, sympathy flashed in her eyes.
This concubine will be a widow for the rest of her life, so there is no need to worry about it in the future.
Yu Yao did not miss the flash of sympathy in Meng's eyes and was stunned for a moment.
Sympathy?
How is she? Is there anything to sympathize with?
My mind changed, and I guessed what Yu Wan had said to Meng.
He curled his lips secretly and didn't take it to heart.
Everyone dispersed, and Yu Yao also went back to Tao Yiju to have a look.
This is the courtyard where the original owner once lived. Now it is an empty courtyard. From time to time, a mother-in-law comes to clean it, but there is nothing interesting to see.
But he didn’t leave immediately, preparing to wait until the time came.
She walked to the yard and sat under the crabapple tree.
She saw Si Qin come in in a hurry and stopped in front of her. Seeing that there was no outsider in Tao Yi's house, she hesitated for a moment and couldn't help but said: "Prince Concubine, the eldest lady just came to see me secretly."
Because of the heartfelt talisman, Si Qin did not want to hide Yu Yao even if the eldest lady was her former master.
Yu Yao's eyelids moved slightly, she gently brushed the petals of crabapples that fell on her body, and asked in a low voice: "What is she looking for you for?"
Si Qin looked at her, " The eldest lady asked me if you and the prince had consummated their marriage. I thought there was nothing to hide about it, so I said it was a consummation."
She frowned. It was normal for Si Qin to answer like this. Then he asked again: "How did she react?"
"The eldest lady is very angry, as if she has been stimulated by something. She keeps shaking her head and saying it's impossible."
Si Qin also looked puzzled after finishing speaking, "The eldest lady is really strange, she is the one who changed the relationship. , she is the one who is unhappy now, and she keeps asking if the marriage has been consummated, which is really confusing. "
Yu Yao's eyes flashed with ridicule, and Yu Wan must be feeling very uncomfortable at this moment.
Imagine that I have been a widow in the palace for my whole life. I thought that she would be a widow like me after she got married.
Things suddenly became different, and you can imagine how uncomfortable you felt inside.
"Then what did she ask you to do?"
Yu Yao asked Siqin.
She didn't think that Yu Wan would do nothing after learning that she and Nangong Yan had consummated their marriage.
That woman was extremely narrow-minded and couldn't bear to see others living a better life than her.
Siqin shook his head slightly, "The eldest lady was in a very bad mood at the time. She was in a state of collapse. I didn't dare to stay there and left soon."
Yu Yao nodded slightly but said nothing.
Just ask Si Qin to pay attention to what is going on over there, and report back in time if there is any news.
She estimated the time for the banquet, got up and left Tao Yiju, and took Si Qin and Si Hua to Tingyu Pavilion.
When they arrived, the banquet was already set, and Yongling Hou took his two sons-in-law, Nangong Yan and Li Luoshu, to sit down.
Yu Che, Yu Xuan, Yu Hui and other young masters from the Hou family will accompany you.
The table is filled with fine wines, delicacies, and fresh fruits and vegetables that should be available in this season.
"Haha, Sister Yao is here, do you want to sit here with father?" Marquis Yongling was very happy to see Yu Yao appear and greeted her cheerfully.
Yu Yao smiled and said, "If you men want to drink, I won't sit with you. I'd better sit with the women."
She said Then he went to sit at the next table.
When the old lady and Meng came over, everyone began to formally sit down to eat.
Yu Wan looked at her frequently, her eyes full of resentment and jealousy.
Yu Yao just pretended not to see her, eating and drinking when she should.
Yu Wan was so angry that she kept poking the fish in the bowl with the chopsticks in her hand.
It’s as if the fish meat is Yu Yao.
Yu Yao obviously saw it, and there was ridicule in her eyes, so she pretended not to see it.
Although they are sitting together, there is still a tassel bead curtain between the two tables. Except for the blurred vision, it does not hinder the conversation.
"Yan'er, I heard that you and the third prince are very close?"
Yongling Hou asked casually while drinking wine and eating vegetables.
“Well, my son-in-law and his third brother grew up together, so their relationship is closer.”
Nangong Yan did not hide it. Since he and the third prince were similar in age and the two got along well, their relationship was naturally better.
Yongling Marquis frowned and couldn't help but remind him: "Although the Holy Emperor established the prince early, the other princes have also grown up, and some of them who were born into the royal family will not have ambitions. Once they are involved, , the consequences are unpredictable.”
This is to remind Nangong Yan not to get too close to those princes unless he really chooses whom to support.
Nangong Yan was stunned, looking at Yongling Hou, he also reacted.
No matter whether he takes sides in the future, others will put him on the side of the third prince.
Who allowed him to have a good relationship with the third prince since childhood.
"Thank you, father-in-law, for reminding me. My son-in-law understands."
Nangong Yan stood up, solemnly toasted Yongling Hou and said sincerely.
As soon as he finished speaking, he drank the wine in his hand.
His father knew that he and his mother and concubine were flirting with each other all day long and didn't care about anything. No one really told him this.
"Haha, we are a family, Yan'er doesn't have to be so polite."
Marquis Yongling felt relieved when he saw that he had listened.
He was afraid that this son-in-law would get mixed up with the third prince inexplicably and be involved in the struggle for the throne.
Prince Jin’s Mansion is already a prince’s title. As long as he makes no mistakes in his life, he will always have glory and wealth. There is no need to get involved in those things.
Li Luoshu saw this, with a dark light in his eyes. He stood up, smiled and offered Yongling a toast.
"My son-in-law has just entered the court, and he still doesn't understand many things. I hope my father-in-law will give me some advice."
His attitude was sincere, and he drank the wine first.
Yonglinghou looked at him with a smile, knowing what he meant, but he didn't understand.
"Haha, your knowledge and talent are very good. Do your work for the Holy One, and the Holy One will see it."
After saying this, he drank the glass of wine with a smile.
There is no need to tell the truth about some things. When he drinks this glass of wine, it actually means he agrees.
Li Luoshu naturally understood, felt relieved, and sat down with a smile.
But from what Yu Wan heard, she thought her father was unwilling to help. She stood up dissatisfied and looked over the bead curtain.
"Dad, my husband is talented and ambitious. If he slowly climbs up by himself, how long will it take for him to climb up? As long as you say a word, my husband's official position will rise."
Yonglinghou's face instantly darkened, and he looked over here, "What nonsense are you talking about? If Luo Shu has this ability, the Holy One will see it sooner or later. How can father intervene?"
Does this idiot know what he is going to say?
If the people at Yushitai heard it, I am afraid that his excerpt would fly to the palace tomorrow.
Li Luoshu was also frightened. He did not expect that his wife would say such bold words.
Even if everyone here is a family, these words cannot be said casually.
"Don't be angry, father-in-law. Wan'er is a woman and doesn't understand anything. Don't be as knowledgeable as her."
He wiped the cold sweat from his head and hurriedly smiled at Yongling Marquis.
